Domaine Clair Obscur

Clair Obscur is the deeply personal project of Pierre and Jennifer Clair, a husband and wife team whose experience places them at the heart of Burgundy’s modern biodynamic movement. Pierre has spent much of his career as chef de culture at two of the region’s most influential domaines, first at Domaine de Montille and later at Domaine Marquis d’Angerville, estates widely recognised for their pioneering work in biodynamic viticulture. Drawing on decades of vineyard experience, Pierre oversees the family’s meticulously farmed parcels, while Jennifer leads the work in the cellar. Beginning with just 0.4 hectares of family owned vines in Corpeau, the domaine has gradually expanded through the acquisition of parcels in Maranges, Santenay, Beaune and the Hautes Côtes. Together they produce wines of remarkable honesty and energy, combining rigorous biodynamic farming with an intuitive, low intervention approach that allows each site to speak clearly.
